Sorting of months in Tag Browser

[ownedbycats]

I have this as a composite column:

program:

	p = format_date ($date, 'yyyy');
	m = format_date($date, 'MMMM');

# elif so it doesn't render undefineds as '.'
	if p then strcat(p, '.', m) fi

In the tag browser, it sorts like this:



Is there an option to fix the sorting here, or should I just change it to output '01 (January)'?

EDIT:

program:

	p = format_date ($date, 'yyyy');
	MMMM = format_date($date, 'MMMM');
	mm = format_date($date, 'mm');
	m = strcat(mm, '(', MMMM, ')');

	if p then strcat(p, '.', m) fi

Renders '00 ({LongLocalizedMonth})' for everything. What did I mess up?

EDIT: It was the capitaliztion. 'MM', not 'mm.'

The tag browser doesn't have sort options beyond alphabetic, by rating, or by count. Your solution is the only one I can think of.

I've used it for sorting files/folders before, so it makes sense.
